How a Tobacco Company Funds a Mega-Farmer’s Political Ambitions That Hurt Workers

In October 2022, we co-published a story with The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and Mother Jones: “A North Carolina Farmer Was Accused of Abusing His Workers. Then Big Tobacco Backed His Election.” The Spanish version also ran in Mexico’s El Universal newspaper, online and in print. This podcast is behind the scenes of our latest investigative collaboration. Join Victoria Bouloubasis and Ben on this journey. Art: Dante Aguilera
